Description
Growing up in rural Pugwash, Nova Scotia, Cyrus Eaton never dreamed he’d become a Nobel Peace Prize-winning billionaire. In <i>Cyrus Eaton: Champion for Peace</i>, award-winning artist Richard Rudnicki uses vibrant imagery and accessible text to tell Eaton’s remarkable story.
With fifteen full-colour illustrations, the book takes young readers through pastoral scenes of early twentieth-century Nova Scotia, the Great Depression, to mid-century New York and beyond, ending with Eaton’s international peace movement based at Pugwash’s internationally renowned Thinkers Lodge. Provoking discussion about the importance of peace, morality, and justice, <i>Cyrus Eaton</i> will introduce a new generation to the industrious pacifist who helped make the world a safer place.
